    Do you think that zoas can live in a bag in a house for about 24 hours? I figure they can if they can be shipped over night.

    It should be fine. But you should drip acclimate when you add it back to your tank.

    Most zoas I think you could probably put in a paper envelope and put them in the regular mail and manage to recover some of them from their destination. They're generally pretty hardy. ;D

    Joking of course, but they're generally pretty bulletproof if handled correctly and they aren't one of a handfull of sensitive strains.

    Just brought home 3 zoa frags. I have them in a trash can (not one that is being used for garbage) still in their respective bags rapped in towels to make sure they stay warm.
